In this paper we present a quantitative study of data survival in peer to peer storage systems. We first recall two main redundancy mechanisms: replication and erasure codes, whic...
Rational and selfish nodes in P2P systems usually lack effective incentives to cooperate, contributing to the increase of free-riders, and degrading the system performance. Variou...
The use of good random numbers is essential to the integrity of many mission-critical systems. However, when such systems are replicated for Byzantine fault tolerance, a serious i...
Abstract. The intention of this paper is to present HEAVEN, a solution of intelligent management of large-scale datasets held on tertiary storage systems. We introduce the common s...
We present a method for synthesizing two dimensional (2D) element arrangements from an example. The main idea is to combine texture synthesis techniques based-on a local neighborh...
